Question: Suppose you are designing an electronically musical instrument. The prototype system occasionally produces off-key notes, causing listeners to wince and grimace.
You have determined the cause of the problem is that the system becomes overwhelmed in processing the complicated input.
You are thinking that if you could boost overall system performance by 12% (making it 12% faster than it is now), you could eliminate the problem.
One option is to use a faster processor, if the processor accounts for 25% of the workload of this system, and you need to boost performance by 12%, how much faster does the new processor need to be?
Can you explain each and every question in detail?
